The Republicans biggest delusion on the Sequester.

Now that the spending cuts have gone into effect the Republicans face a major problem.

They have been telling their base the lie that Obama caused the economy to collapse by increasing welfare for "his own kind". All of their language has been crafted to keep this lie alive.

Here's the problem: SOME of them actually believe this crap themselves and are convinced that their home town is waiting to greet them as heroes complete with an award and a parade with a brass band.
